<p>What do y'all think of renaming this WG as the rustc-guide WG</p>

<p>I've heard some people get confused that the role of the learning WG is to help people <em>learn rust</em></p>

<p>as opposed to learning about <em>rustc</em></p>

<p>and it seems like rustc-guide is the current focus anyhow</p>

<p>the goals of the wg are also about rustc-guide and API docs which we are not really doing, so I prefer to have something that shows a bit more the focus of the group</p>

<p>I agree with that, but we won't rename the rustc-guide to rustc-dev-guide or something for now? I remember this issue: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide/issues/470" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide/issues/470">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide/issues/470</a></p>

<p>I think if we are going to change names, we should change both to together to avoid churn</p>

<p>agree that we should rename probably the guide and the WG to rustc-dev-guide</p>
